“I share the same passion for whole-person cancer care that Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) embraces. It matches my personal belief about how medicine should be practiced,” says Daniel R. Wynn, MD, FACNS, FAASM, Neurologist. “Each patient works with a care team to develop a comprehensive cancer treatment plan that incorporates state-of-the-art technologies and innovative treatment options with supportive therapies.”

Dr. Wynn, who joined our hospital in Chicago in May 2016, evaluates and treats patients experiencing neurological symptoms stemming from cancer or its treatment. He works with a variety of cancer types, including brain, spine and other cancer types that spread to the brain.

“My goal is to help CTCA® patients restore both physical and spiritual wellness,” says Dr. Wynn. “Working with patients, I incorporate the advances in neurology, including the application of immunotherapy drugs, when appropriate.”

Dr. Wynn received a bachelor’s degree in biology from Reed College in Portland, Oregon, an earned a medical degree from the Chicago Medical School in Illinois. After completing residencies in internal medicine and neurology at the Mayo Graduate School of Medicine in Rochester, Minnesota, he completed fellowships at the same school in EEG and sleep disorders medicine.

Patient Ratings

Star ratings and comments are only available for medical, radiation and gynecologic oncologists. Gynecologic surgical offerings are not included at this time due to a different survey tool required to evaluate these services. CTCA uses a validated Press Ganey® survey, which captures patient experience feedback for the primary oncology services of chemotherapy and radiation therapy at our comprehensive care and research centers. Following industry best practice, star ratings and comments are only published for physicians with a minimum of 30 completed patient surveys.
